Projectile Motion Example

The video tutorial discusses the initial velocity of a projectile at a specific angle and predicts its vertical and horizontal motion. It demonstrates the application of physics principles to solve a problem, aiming to land a projectile in a bucket. Despite the projectile initially landing in the bucket, it bounces out, prompting reflection on the outcome.

What is the initial velocity of the projectile?

• 5.0 meters per second

• 2.8 meters per second

• 4.5 meters per second

• 3.25 meters per second

At what angle is the projectile launched above the horizontal?

• 90°

• 30°

• 61.7°

• 45°

How far horizontally does the projectile travel before predicting its vertical distance?

• 1.5 meters

• 0.93 meters

• 2.0 meters

• 0.5 meters

What happens to the projectile after it lands in the bucket?

• It stays in the bucket

• It disappears

• It bounces back out

• It breaks the bucket

What concept is being demonstrated when the projectile bounces back out of the bucket?

• Elastic collision

• Gravity

• Inertia

• Friction
